GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. OUR CHIEF PLANNER. THAT'S A LITTLE TOUGH TO FOLLOW THAT ONE, RIGHT? SO THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF HORIZON BOULEVARD AND WEST OF CANAL BOULEVARD. THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM A-1 APARTMENTS TO C-1 COMMERCIAL FOR PROPOSED COMMERCIAL USES. MAIN ACCESS IS OFF OF CANAL DRIVE, AND AS FAR AS PUBLIC INPUT, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST. TO THE LEFT IS A ZONING MAP. TO THE NORTH, IT'S ALL R4 AND R9 TO THE SOUTH, R9 AND A-1, SOME C-1 AS WELL. AND THEN TO THE EAST R2, C-1, AND P PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE AERIAL MAP. AND AGAIN, SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY A-1. THESE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. TO THE NORTH PRIMARILY IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THE EAST LAKE MESA ESTATE ESTATES SUBDIVISION TO THE SOUTH. IT'S VACANT AND UNDEVELOPED LAND. AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH IS PAST RAINBOW. TEXAS RAINBOW IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

AS FAR AS AGENTS TO REVIEW, THERE WERE NO ADVERSE COMMENTS OR PENDING COMMENTS FROM STAFF AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE FROM A1 TO C1. THERE ARE COMPATIBLE USES IN THE AREA. AND THEN ALSO IT IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT CALLED FOR OPEN SPACE. AND IT ACTUALLY GOT ZONED TO TO A1 APARTMENTS. [00:15:04] THE LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND SERVE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND THE EXISTING MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA, SO IT WOULD BE A GOOD FIT. ALSO, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO A MAJOR, MAJOR ARTERIAL CANAL, AND THE PROPOSED USES ARE ALIGNED TO SUPPORT SURROUNDING LAND USES IN THE AREA. THESE ARE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE FROM THE COUNCIL. WELL, BEING THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THIS UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. WOULD ANYBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? NO. GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. MOVE ON TO. NUMBER TEN. THIS IS THE DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THIS SAME ITEM AS PREVIOUSLY READ INTO RECORD. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PERTAINING TO THIS AGENDA ITEM? MOTION TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. COULD YOU PLEASE FOLD THE COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. YES. HI. HI. HI. HI. HI, MENDOZA. HI. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR. ITEM NUMBER 11. [Items 11 & 12] THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS ON THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE NUMBER 0296, AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE. AND ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 0296 OF THE TOWN OF MASON CITY. ADOPTING THE BUDGET OF THE 2023 2024 FISCAL YEAR TO ALLOW FOR THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS IN THE 2023 STREET MAINTENANCE SURPLUS FUNDS TO THE 2024 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, AND FROM THE MASS TRANSIT PUBLIC SERVICE BUDGET TO THE PLANNING OPERATING BUDGET AND. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSES. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL TERRY CASADA, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MANAGER. THIS ORDINANCE PROPOSES TWO CHANGES TO THE BUDGET. THE FIRST IS AN AMENDMENT THAT TRANSFERS $13,000 FROM THE PUBLIC SERVICE OPERATING BUDGET TO THE PLANNING OPERATING BUDGET, AND THE SECOND IS TRANSFER OF $509,700 WITHIN THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND SO THAT WE CAN FUND THE AWARD AND FULL PROJECT FOR STREET MAINTENANCE FOR 2023 2024. WE INTRODUCED THIS TO YOU BACK IN MAY, AND SO NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT TO YOU FOR YOUR FINAL CONSIDERATION. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THE AWARD OF BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACT ARE ON THE AGENDA FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION LATER ON IN THE AGENDA. BEING THAT THIS IS A. THIS AGENDA ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. WOULD ANYBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? YEAH. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. NUMBER 12, THIS IS THE DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THE SAME ITEM AS PREVIOUSLY READ INTO THE RECORD. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM? I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. HOW MUCH IS THE. PAUL. ROWE. CONSTRUCTION, CONTRIBUTING TO THE FACT THAT YOU NEED THIS ADDITIONAL. IT IS NOT. THIS IS STRICTLY FOR THE 2023 2024 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. OKAY. THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INCREASE IN THE BUDGET. I'M SORRY. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF IF IF THAT'S NOT PART OF IT, THEN WHY WAS THERE NEEDED TO BE AN INCREASE? THERE WASN'T ENOUGH FUNDS FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS ADVERTISED, AND THAT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE. THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS ABOUT 1,000,002. THE ORIGINAL BUDGET IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR 20 2423 FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND. LET ME LOOK QUICKLY HERE. YES, MA'AM. IT WAS. AND WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER A LITTLE OVER HALF $1 MILLION. AND YOU'RE ADDING A HALF A MILLION FOR 1.7. SO THE. THE. I'M JUMPING AHEAD TO THE ITEM 16, BUT THE TWO ITEMS ARE ABOUT A MILLION. THREE A LITTLE OVER 1,000,003. [00:20:03] SO WHAT ARE WHAT OTHER EXPENSES ARE CAUSING IT THEN TO FOR YOU TO NEED THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS? WE ARE THAT AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS. THE AMOUNT THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WAS 824,000. SO WE'RE ADDING 439,000 TO THAT FOR THE 1.2 MILLION. THAT ALLOWS FOR A CONTINGENCY AMOUNT WITHIN CONSTRUCTION, SO THAT IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CHANGE ORDERS THAT HAVE TO BE EXECUTED DURING THE PROJECT, WE CAN WE CAN DO THOSE WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK FOR ANOTHER AMENDMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO BEING INCREASED BY ANOTHER 149,000, AND THAT'S TO COVER THE FULL EXPENSE OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT COSTS. SO IT'S IT'S NOT JUST THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARD, BUT A CONTINGENCY AMOUNT, THE FULL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS PROJECT MANAGEMENT COSTS. ALL RIGHT. AND THE 1.2 MILLION ALSO INCLUDED 140,000 FOR OPERATING EXPENSES. SO THAT DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. OKAY. HOW MUCH OF THAT HOW MUCH OF A BURROW WAS IN THERE? I'M SORRY. HOW MUCH THE EXPENSES FOR BRO WERE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND AS WELL. YES, THEY THEY ARE. OKAY. HOW MUCH WAS THAT? I DON'T HAVE THAT FIGURE, BUT I CAN PROVIDE THAT TO COUNCIL. YES, MA'AM. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL TO APPROVE? SECOND. MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL. MILLARD PETERS. HI. HI HI, HI. HI, MENDOZA. RIGHT MOTION CARRIES. ITEM NUMBER 13. THIS IS ON A CAPITAL. [13. Discussion and Action] ON AN UPDATE ON THE CAPITAL. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL TERRI CASADA, CITY MANAGER. THANK YOU. OXBOW, PAULINE AND STREET. OXBOW, PAULINE AND BARROW STREET IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE EXPECTING TO MODIFY THE COMPLETION DATE TO JUNE 21ST OF 2024. I BELIEVE I'VE REPORTED TO COUNCIL THAT THERE WERE DELAYS IN THE PROJECT, BASED ON SOME EL PASO ELECTRIC WORK THAT HAD TO BE COMPLETED. A WALK THROUGH OCCURRED ON OR WILL OCCUR JUNE 12TH TOMORROW. WE EXPECT THAT TO BE THE FINAL WALK THROUGH AND SO THAT WE CAN START THE CLOSE OUT PROJECT. AND WE EXPECT TO BRING A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE FINAL QUANTITY ADJUSTMENTS AND THE TIME ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNCIL AT THE JULY MEETING. THESE ARE SOME IMAGES. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THOSE ARE ABOUT A MONTH OLD. OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE. MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. PHASE ONE. COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THE AWARD OF THE SOLICITATION LATER ON THE AGENDA TODAY. THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND AGAIN. COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THE AWARD OF THIS PROJECT LATER ON. THE AGENDA THAT INCLUDES MILL AND OVERLAY FOR SOUTH AND NORTH CANALS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MCMAHON AVENUE. FOR NORTH DARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN USE TRW'S FUNDS TO SECURE A CIB LOAN FOR THE FUNDING GAP, AND WE'RE WORKING TO MEET WITH OUR PARTNERS ON THAT SO THAT WE CAN ADJUST THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO CAPTURE THAT THAT INCREMENT, SO THAT WE CAN THEN APPLY IT TO CIB LOAN. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LENGTHIER PROCESS BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO AMEND THOSE AGREEMENTS. WE'LL BRING THOSE, OF COURSE, BACK TO COUNCIL. WE'RE PLANNING TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CAMINO REAL REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY SO THAT THEY CAN MANAGE THE CIB LOAN APPLICATION. AND SO AGAIN, ALL OF THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL. THIS IS RELATIVELY NEW. COUNCIL DID NOT HAVE THAT ON ITS BACKUP. BUT THIS IS THE MOST RECENT UPDATE, THE ACCESS TO BRIER TOWNHOMES, AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT ONLY LOCAL TRAFFIC WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENTER FROM HORIZON BOULEVARD, AND ALL TRAFFIC FROM THE TOWNHOMES OR BUSINESSES WILL NEED TO UTILIZE DRIVEWAY THREE, WHICH IS THE ADJACENT BUSINESS DRIVEWAY. WE WANTED TO PUT THIS INTO OUR CIP REPORT SO THAT WE HAD THAT WE HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. EXCUSE ME. YES, SIR. THAT'S THE PERMANENT ACCESS. [00:25:01] NO, SIR. THAT'S DURING CONSTRUCTION. NO, THAT'S DURING CONSTRUCTION. THAT'S. THAT'S A DETOUR. IT'S JUST DURING CONSTRUCTION. YES, SIR. WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN EXECUTE THE TEXAS GAS SERVICE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO START WORK ON NORTH DARRINGTON. WE STILL EXPECT THERE TO BE 4 TO 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN MOBILIZE TO START THAT. AND THEN THE THE DETOURS WILL BEGIN. THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IS STILL PENDING. WE'RE WORKING OUT SOME FINAL LANGUAGE SO THAT IT'S A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR THE RELOCATIONS THAT THEY WILL BE CONDUCTING. AND WE HAVE ACQUIRED ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE POND. WE'RE CLOSING ON THE TWO FINAL EASEMENTS AT MURPHY AND WALMART, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO TO THOSE PROPERTIES FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WILL BE THERE. ON SAFETY PROJECTS. SOUTH DARRINGTON SAFETY LIGHTING. THE THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER, SO WE'RE CLOSE ON THAT ONE. AND ARPA PROJECTS. WE ALSO HAVE AN ITEM ON COUNCIL AGENDA FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION. THAT WILL GIVE YOU A HIGHLIGHT HERE. TRANSITS PLAZA SIDING PROJECT. WE ARE EXPECTING TO BRING A SITE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL BY LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL. STAFF HAS RECEIVED PRELIMINARY REPORTS ON THREE SITING OPTIONS FOR THE TRANSIT PLAZA, SO STAFF WILL BE REVIEWING. THOSE WILL BE COORDINATING WITH THE COUNTY'S TRANSIT PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SITE THAT'S SELECTED WORKS WITH PROPOSED ROUTES. CITY HALL BUILDOUT. WE'RE COORDINATING THE SCOPE OF WORK WITH A CONSULTANT. SO AGAIN, WE EXPECT TO TO BRING AN AGREEMENT TO COUNCIL PRETTY QUICKLY FOR THE DESIGN AND STREET AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO ADVERTISE FOR REQUIREMENTS CONTRACTS SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE TASK ORDERS FOR THOSE DESIGNS. AND FOR DILLY DILLY IN TRANSIT PLAZA, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH HUD. THAT HAS BEEN A LENGTHIER PROCESS THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED, BUT WE'RE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT. AND SUBJECT TO YOUR QUESTIONS. COUNCIL. THAT CONCLUDES THE CIP REPORT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DOCTOR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? LET'S SEE. WHAT'S GOING POORLY. THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONE BY THIS MONTH. THAT'S WHAT. YES, WE'RE WE'RE DOING THE WALKTHROUGH TOMORROW. SO THAT ONE'S BEEN ON THERE FOR TEN YEARS. SINCE 20. SINCE 2014. YES. IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES. SO. CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT ONE. MOVE TO ACCEPT THE REPORT. I SECOND THE MOTION.

THIS IS THE LONG AWAITED AWARD OF THE SOLICITATION FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES PHASE ONE.

EXIGO WAS AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER. THEY CERTAINLY SERVED AS A RESOURCE TO THE TOWN. AS WE LOOKED AT THE EVALUATION, WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF CRITERIA THAT WE OUTLINED IN THE MEMO THAT WE PRESENTED TO TO [00:30:07] COUNCIL. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPOSER HAD THE APPROPRIATE TEAM, HAD EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR PROJECTS, AND COULD DELIVER THE PROJECT ON TIME. WE EXPECTED THAT THOSE WERE THE MOST CRITICAL CRITERIA IN EVALUATING THE PROJECT. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR WHO COULD DELIVER ON TIME AND ON BUDGET. WE HAVE OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT HERE. MR. MESTA IS HERE. WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM DANTEC'S. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE AWARD OF THE BASE BID AND THE ALTERNATES. THERE WERE FOUR ALTERNATES TO INCLUDE THE AN EXTERIOR CANOPY SALLYPORT AT THE HOLDING CELLS AND TWO ALTERNATES FOR LANDSCAPING.

AND I WONDER WHY IT'S NOT GOING ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER, SINCE THAT'S WHERE THE SOUTH SIDE WAS DONE. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. ROXANNE MEDINA, A TOWN ENGINEER. ACTUALLY, IT DOES GO ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER, AND IT INCLUDES BIG LONG. SO WE DID INCLUDE BIG LONG THE NORTHERN PART OF THE ONLY REASON IT'S DOING THE NORTHERN PART OF MCMAHON IS THAT WHEN THE AIR MUD CAME IN WITH THEIR FORCE MAIN, THEY DID THE SOUTHERN PART OF MCMAHON. SO THE SOUTHERN PART HAS BEEN RECENTLY REPAVED AND WE WILL BE REPAVING THE NORTHERN PARTS. OKAY. MY QUESTION WAS BECAUSE IN THE MEMO IT SAID IT WAS ONLY GOING TO. YES. ORIGINALLY THAT WAS THE LIMITS, BUT WE DID EXTEND IT ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER. AND THEN WE INCLUDED BIG LONG. AND ON, NOT TO DUANESBURG. OR KNOW THE LIMITS WE HAD BEEN GIVEN WERE TO NORTH NORTH PORT. NORTH PORT? YEAH. NORTH PORT. YEAH. I JUST, YOU KNOW, THAT'LL BE THE THOROUGHFARE ONCE ONCE DARRINGTON STARTS.

WE ARE PROPOSING THAT HEWITT SALAS WILL BE THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER FOR THIS PROJECT. THEIR PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES MATERIALS TESTING REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT THAT IS ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS. THE CITY CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE TESTING CONTRACTS IN PLACE, SO WE ARE USING HEWITT SALAS TO BRING THOSE SERVICES FORWARD.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. AND A SECOND. HE'S. SPAULDING COUNCIL. HEY. HI HI HI HI HI HI. MOTION CARRIES. ITEM NUMBER 17. [17. Discussion and Action] THIS IS A DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEM. THIS IS ON THE PRE REPROGRAMING OF ARPA FUNDS TO INCREASE CERTAIN OPERATIONAL COSTS AND REPROGRAMING PROJECTED BALANCES. PROJECTS AND ADDING THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS TO THE ARPA PROGRAM. ADA TRANSITION PLAN. MUNICIPAL. STAGE ONE FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. F AND E AND 2025 STREET MAINTENANCE. HOW MANY ITEMS DO YOU HAVE? THIS IS THE LAST ONE, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL TERRY CASADA, CITY MANAGER. WE LISTENED VERY CAREFULLY WHEN COUNCIL EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT US BEING ABLE TO EXPEND ALL OF THE ARPA FUNDS AND HAVE THEM UNDER [00:40:08] CONTRACT BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR. SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THAT WE HAVE A PROGRAM OF WORK THAT MAY BE MORE AMBITIOUS THAN WE ULTIMATELY HAVE FUNDS FOR, BUT THAT ALLOWS STAFF TO PURSUE PROJECTS AND GET AS IT'S GOING TO BE A RACE TO TO GETTING THEM UNDER CONTRACT BY DECEMBER 31ST. RIGHT? AND I SPOKE WITH WITH THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, OUR GOAL IS TO BRING CONTRACTS BY NOVEMBER SO THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF OF LEEWAY SHOULD THERE BE SOME DELAY? SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR. SO TO DO THAT, WE'RE ADDING PROJECTS TO THE TO THE SCOPE OF WORK OR TO THE PROGRAM OF WORK. THE ADA TRANSITION PLAN IS A STUDY TO DETERMINE ANY GAPS IN ADA COMPLIANCE, NOT ONLY IN THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO IN CITY PROGRAMS. WE HAD PREPARED A SCOPE OF WORK. WE WERE GETTING READY TO ADVERTISE FOR A CONSULTANT FOR THAT. SO NOW IT'S A MATTER OF INCLUDING THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES SO THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT SELECTION AND CONTRACT, ALL OF THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS ARE IN PLACE. STREET MAINTENANCE DESIGN FOR 2025 ALLOWS US TO BE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND BEGIN DESIGN THIS CALENDAR YEAR FOR WHAT WE HOPE TO BRING TO COUNCIL FOR NEXT CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, AND IT LEVERAGES THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND. IF WE CAN AGAIN, DO THE THE STREET DESIGN THIS CALENDAR YEAR. MUNICIPAL FACILITIES FACE ONE FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE PROPOSED FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT THAT EXIGO HAD PROVIDED. STAFF IS OR THE USER DEPARTMENTS ARE TAKING A LOOK AT AT THOSE PROPOSALS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLETE. THEY CONTINUE TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE FUNCTIONS THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO HOUSE IN MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. WE BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME BY BOARDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE TOWN.
